    1989 Force 150 ignition

    Re: 1989 Force 150 ignition Alright here is what I did. I went through and cut off all those spade terminals all together (I found 2 questionable connections) and re-terminated to a new terminal block. I removed those old ones and put this other style on. I like these because they are smaller...

    1989 Force 150 ignition

    OK Force gurus, I need some verification on my troubleshooting before I buy parts. History; I got the boat from my neighbor last year. The 1989 Force 150 (1508E9A) had a couple of issues that I corrected. One of them was a bad CD unit. There was no spark on 1 cyl. and of the units I had, the...

    1960 Aero-Craft Adventurer Restore

    Kinda funny not knowing what I bought, but I would of bought it anyway, no matter what the make is. It has the foundation of what I was looking for. The PO has mentioned that whan he registered it it came up as a 1960 Starcraft, but as I look at others of that area I don't believe it is. If it...

It appears to be the exact foundation I have in my head for the fishing rig I want. Just a couple of questions, before I commit myself to...

    Torque values

    I am reading through my manual for the torque values for my exhaust manifold on a 1989 Force 150. My book says that it is 70 in/lbs. seems real light, almost hand tight. Is this correct? Can I put a bit more torque (20-30 ft/lbs) and be safe? Can I use Anti-seize on the threads also? I just...

    Force 150 and yellow jackets

    I have a Bayliner Arriva with a 1989 Force 150 that my neighbor finally gave up and gave to me. The boat has been sitting since 2001 out of the water. I got the engine fired up and noticed that I had no water flow. I immediately killed the engine and started to dig into it a bit more. Evidently...
